Akro Malt EDP (Tester)

Description

Malt is Akro's tribute to the last pour of a long night: a boozy, smoky whiskey accord built by perfumer Olivier Cresp as part of the brand's original 2018 collection of "wearable vices." This listing is the tester bottle: the exact same Eau de Parfum as Akro's full-size Malt, sold at a lower price because it comes without retail box and cellophane.

Scent Character

• Woody: 67%
• Smoky & Leathery: 33%

Translation: a woody, smoky-leather composition. Malt's "oud-adjacent" depth actually comes from patchouli and leather rather than true agarwood, so we describe it here as Smoky & Leathery rather than Oud.

FAQ

What's different about the Tester bottle?
Nothing about the juice: it's the same Akro Malt Eau de Parfum in the same 100ml bottle, just sold without retail packaging, which is why it's priced lower than the boxed version.

Is Akro Malt for men or women?
It's unisex.

What does it smell like?
Whiskey and smoke up top, settling into leather and patchouli. Boozy and warm rather than sweet.

How long does it last?
Roughly 7–9 hours with moderate-to-strong sillage.
